Description Álvaro Castro Castilla 2008-07-16 14:20:05 UTC
Hi! Here is a description of pure:

Pure is a functional programming language based on term rewriting. Its core is actually purely algebraic and purely functional, but the name can also be taken as a recursive acronym for the "Pure Universal Rewriting Engine." Pure has a modern syntax featuring curried function applications, lexical closures and equational definitions with pattern matching, and thus is somewhat similar to languages of the Haskell and ML variety. But Pure is also a very dynamic and reflective language, and is more like Lisp in this respect.

It depends on llvm, so I also updated bugzilla ebuild of llvm-2.3

I don't know why there was RDEPEND="!dev-lang/pure". I expect that for this ebuild P="dev-lang/pure", so I removed it.

Anyway this project is still alive. Last record in changelog is dated by 2010-10-16. So I hope someone will write the correct ebuild and will put it into gentoo repository (at least masked repository-based version).
